their poskion and direction they face. Wipe the blade
collars clean of any sawdust before installing the new
blade.
INSTALLING BLADE (Fig. F, G, H)
1. lnsta{I a 10" blade, making sure the rotation arrow
on the blade matches the cloclewise rotation arrow on
the upper guard, and the blade teeth are pointing
downward.
2. Place the outer blade collar (6) on the blade and on
the arbor. Thread the arbor screw (4) into the arbor.
(Fig. H)
iMPORTANT: make sure the flats of the blade collars
are engage d with the flats on the arbor shaft.
3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor screw.
4. Press the arbor 10ck (5), holding it in firmly while
turning the blade wrench counterclockwise. When

o To avoid injury, never use the saw without thecover
plate secure in place. It keeps the arbor screw from
falling out if it accidentally loosens, and helps prevent
the spinning blade from coming off the saw.

arranged. Lower the blade into the lower table and
check for any contact with the metal base or the turn
table.

the two fence locking screws.
CAUTION: If the saw has not been used recently,
